It's not unusual for it to take a few months. If she works she mustn't earn more than £132/week.

3 weeks, that's very optimistic. As i advised, 3 months is not unusual. Do you and your partner claim any other benefits?

@poppy123456 no she doesn't claim another benefit they stop universal credit cause she had over £16000 I didn't know about so dwp said they over paid £30000 they stop claim tho.. but I still get pip I applied that before they stop other benefit
